Here, Arran Lomas shows us how they harnessed those traits to forge the British nation, and indeed the world, we know today.\nFollow history s greatest adventurers from the swashbuckling waters of the Caribbean to the vast white wasteland of the Antarctic wilderness, like the British spy who infiltrated a top-secret Indian brothel and the priest who hid inside a wall but forgot to bring a packed lunch. At the very least you ll discover Henry VIII s favourite a***-wipe, whether the flying alchemist ever made it from Scotland to France, and the connection between Victorian coffee houses and dildos.\n\nForget what you were taught in school this is history like you ve never heard it before, full of captivating historical quirks that will make you laugh out loud and scratch your head in disbelief.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1783529148\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1783529148.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Arran Lomas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
